a little humor for you

There's all kinds of drama going on right now in the Autism Vaccine debate, and this gem was in remarks of an article.

Love it.

If Vaccines Were Peanuts

Mother: He just ate his first peanut butter sandwich, and suddenly, his lips and face swelled up, and he couldn’t breathe!

Doctor: Calm down, don’t jump to hysterical conclusions. Correlation does not equal causation. It was coincidence. Or genetics. Or both. But it had nothing to do with the peanut butter!

Mother: But we have peanut allergies on both sides of the family!

Doctor: Nonsense! We know peanuts don’t cause allergies, because the peanut industry has kindly provided us with their own studies, done on kids with no family history or other risk of peanut allergy. The peanut industry funded, directed, interpreted, and marketed these studies, and THEY say that peanuts don’t cause allergies.

Now, you let little Timmy eat all the peanut butter sandwiches he wants, and I’ll write prescriptions for the swelling, choking, vomiting, etc.If he has trouble focusing on schoolwork while he’s choking, we’ll give him Ritalin, too. And I’ll write you a prescription for an anti-depressant for you, because you are getting hysterical.
